October 20-22, 2023

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you!  We have been very successful with our legislative pursuits for funding. We WILL NOT be charging a registration fees for Veteran getaways for the next two years as we have secured funding from the MDVA. You may come up to two retreats per year!  We will now be allowed to get reimbursement for Spouses, children, and active-duty service members!

Because there’s not a registration fee, you will be required to submit your DD214 (Member 4) and Driver’s license or state ID.  If a spouse is attending and has a different last name, you will be required to show proof of marriage before you are considered “registered.”  Once you are committed to attending your retreat, there are limited spots for each one and if you do not show up, that is a Veteran’s spot that you have eliminated.

You will be welcomed into the serene and supportive setting at Camp Bliss. Come and experience an amazing weekend of healing and relaxation.

You will feel like you’re miles away from the stress and strain of everyday life!  We will take time to enjoy the beauty of 48 acres of incredible pine and hardwood forest in a breathtaking north woods setting on three lakes!

All our Getaways & Retreats are alcohol free.
